Re: [xcat-user] nodiscovery issues - please help!

Hi Iman,

Can you let us know what the issue was with your networks table? Typo or something else?

This would help us have more data and also look into whether we need to have some specific log message that would help the end user detect this problem.

We have also seen similar `dest=` in the past and having more data about this would be helpful.

Thanks,

Victor

Hi,

problem resolved, I had an issue with the networks table. All is well and good.

Ok, so, upgrading to 2.14.6 fixed all the malformed URL's in dhcpd.conf file, but discovery seems to be still broken.

I get the following when I attempt a node build, after the initial xnba HTTP download through iPXE:

This is a Management Node

dbengine=SQLite

Am I missing anything else? discovery was never a problem before with the 2.14.2 version that I am running in production.

thanks.

Hi, Imam

Can you provide us the log file /var/log/xcat/cluster.log?

It seems there is node matched but with no `chain` attribute set.

So, will you pls provide also the /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases file?

Thx!

As you are using 2.14.5, not sure if it is impacted by https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/5905

But it will impact node discovery, here is a patch for it (https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-core/issues/5905#issuecomment-448165125)

Or you can just try with 2.14.6, xcat latest GA release.

hi,

i am trying to bring a new instance of xcat ( version 2.14.5 ) and I get this when I attempted to install a client. usually 'nodediscoverls' would show some undiscovered node(s), but in my case there is nothing. I am not sure what's so different in this version of xcat.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks.
